DYCOM INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO COMPARABLE GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (CONTINUED)

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the Company's quarterly results releases, trend schedules, conference calls, slide presentations, and webcasts, it may use or discuss Non-GAAP financial measures, as defined by Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that the presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial measures in these materials provides information that is useful to investors because it allows for a more direct comparison of the Company's performance for the period reported with the Company's performance in prior periods. The Company cautions that Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company's reported GAAP results. Management defines the Non-GAAP financial measures used as follows:

    --  Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues - contract revenues from businesses
        that are included for the entire period in both the current and prior
        year periods, excluding contract revenues from storm restoration
        services. Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenue growth is calculated as the
        percentage change in Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues over those of
        the comparable prior year periods. Management believes organic growth is
        a helpful measure for comparing the Company's revenue performance with
        prior periods.
    --  Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA - net income (loss) before interest, taxes,
        depreciation and amortization, gain on sale of fixed assets, stock-based
        compensation expense, and certain non-recurring items. Management
        believes Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is a helpful measure for comparing the
        Company's operating performance with prior periods as well as with the
        performance of other companies with different capital structures or tax
        rates.
    --  Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss) - GAAP net income (loss) before the
        non-cash amortization of the debt discount and the related tax impact,
        certain tax impacts resulting from vesting and exercise of share-based
        awards, and certain non-recurring items.
    --  Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Common Share and Non-GAAP
        Adjusted Diluted Shares - Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by
        Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Shares outstanding. The Company has a hedge in
        effect to offset the economic dilution of additional shares that would
        be issued in connection with the conversion of the Notes up to an
        average quarterly share price of $130.43. The measure of Non-GAAP
        Adjusted Diluted shares used in computing Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted
        Earnings per Common Share excludes dilution from the Notes. Management
        believes that the calculation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted shares to
        reflect the note hedge will be useful to investors because it provides
        insight into the offsetting economic effect of the hedge against
        potential conversion of the Notes.

Management excludes or adjusts each of the items identified below from Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Common Share:

    --  Non-cash amortization of debt discount on Notes - The Company's Notes
        were allocated between debt and equity components. The difference
        between the principal amount and the carrying amount of the liability
        component of the Notes represents a debt discount. The debt discount is
        being amortized over the term of the Notes but does not result in
        periodic cash interest payments. The Company has excluded the non-cash
        amortization of the debt discount from its Non-GAAP financial measures
        because it believes it is useful to analyze the component of interest
        expense for the Notes that will be paid in cash. The exclusion of the
        non-cash amortization from the Company's Non-GAAP financial measures
        provides management with a consistent measure for assessing financial
        results.
    --  Loss on debt extinguishment - The Company incurred a pre-tax charge of
        approximately $0.1 million for extinguishment of debt in connection with
        the purchase of $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.75%
        convertible senior notes due September 2021 for $24.3 million during the
        quarter ended January 25, 2020. Management believes excluding the loss
        on debt extinguishment from the Company's Non-GAAP financial measures
        assists investors' overall understanding of the Company's current
        financial performance. The Company believes this type of charge is not
        indicative of its core operating results. The exclusion of the loss on
        debt extinguishment from the Company's Non-GAAP financial measures
        provides management with a consistent measure for assessing the current
        and historical financial results.
    --  Charge for (recovery of) previously reserved accounts receivable and
        contract assets - During the quarter and fiscal year ended January 26,
        2019, the Company recognized a pre-tax non-cash charge for accounts
        receivable and contract assets of $17.2 million related to balances owed
        from a customer. On February 25, 2019, this customer filed a voluntary
        petition for reorganization. During the fiscal year ended January 25,
        2020, the Company recognized $10.3 million of pre-tax income from the
        recovery of previously reserved accounts receivable and contract assets
        in the first quarter based on collections from a customer. The Company
        excludes the impact of this recovery from its Non-GAAP financial
        measures because the Company believes it is not indicative of its
        underlying results.
    --  Impact on stock-based compensation expense from non-cash charge for
        accounts receivable and contract assets - The Company excludes the
        impact on stock-based compensation expense from the non-cash charge for
        accounts receivable and contract assets from its Non-GAAP financial
        measures because the Company believes it is not indicative of its
        underlying results or ongoing operations.
    --  Q1-20 charge for warranty costs - During the fiscal year ended January
        25, 2020, the Company recorded an $8.2 million pre-tax charge in the
        first quarter for estimated warranty costs for work performed for a
        customer in prior periods. The Company excludes the impact of this
        charge from its Non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes
        it is not indicative of its underlying results in the current period.
    --  Tax impact of the vesting and exercise of share-based awards - The
        Company excludes certain tax impacts resulting from the vesting and
        exercise of share-based awards as these amounts may vary significantly
        from period to period. Excluding these amounts from the Company's
        Non-GAAP financial measures provides management with a more consistent
        measure for assessing financial results.
    --  Tax impact of previous tax year filing - During the fiscal year ended
        January 25, 2020, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $1.1
        million in the second quarter on a previous tax year filing. The Company
        has excluded this impact because the Company believes it is not
        indicative of the Company's underlying results or ongoing operations.
    --  Tax impact of pre-tax adjustments - The tax impact of pre-tax
        adjustments reflects the Company's effective tax rate used for financial
        planning for the applicable period.

(2 )During the fiscal year ended January 25, 2020, the Company recorded an $8.2 million pre-tax charge in the first quarter for estimated warranty costs for work performed for a customer in prior periods.

(3) Includes stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million and $1.9 million for the quarters ended January 25, 2020 and January 26, 2019, respectively, and $10.0 million and $20.2 million for the fiscal year ended January 25, 2020 and January 26, 2019, respectively.

(4) During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended January 26, 2019, the Company recognized a pre-tax non-cash charge for accounts receivable and contract assets of $17.2 million related to balances owed from a customer. On February 25, 2019, this customer filed a voluntary petition for reorganization.

(5) Includes pre-tax interest expense for non-cash amortization of the debt discount associated with the Notes of $5.1 million and $4.9 million for the quarters ended January 25, 2020 and January 26, 2019, respectively, and $20.1 million and $19.1 million for the fiscal years ended January 25, 2020 and January 26, 2019, respectively.

(6) During the quarter ended January 25, 2020, the Company purchased, through open-market transactions, $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.75% convertible senior notes due September 2021 for $24.3 million, resulting in a remaining principal amount of $460.0 million outstanding. After the write-off of associated debt issuance costs, the net loss on extinguishment was $0.1 million.

(7) For the the fiscal year ended January 25, 2020, the provision for income taxes included $1.1 million recognized in the second quarter related to a previous tax year filing.

(8) Diluted shares for the quarters ended January 25, 2020 and January 26, 2019 exclude common stock equivalents related to share-based awards as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

(9) During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2019, the Company's average stock price exceeded the $96.89 conversion price of its Notes.

For the fiscal year ended January 26, 2019, Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Shares excludes the GAAP dilutive share effect of the Notes.

(10) Amounts for the fiscal year ended January 25, 2020 and January 26, 2019 represent contract revenues from an acquired business that was not owned for the full period in both the current and prior year periods.

(11) As a result of the pre-tax non-cash charge for accounts receivable and contract assets recognized during the quarter ended January 26, 2019, the Company's stock-based compensation expense was reduced by approximately $1.9 million for the quarter and fiscal year ended January 26, 2019.

(12) For the quarter ended January 26, 2019, GAAP diluted shares excludes 418,695 common stock equivalents related to share-based awards as their effect would be antidilutive. Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Shares includes the dilutive effect of these additional shares.
